How can i strengthen my joints? my knees grind my hip clicks and all my other joints just crack. is there something i can do to strengthen them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Remember: It's not so much strengthening the joints but more so improving your flexibility at the respective joints and the surrouning musculature that supports the joints, that matters. You may want to undertake some resistance(weight) training program and a flexibility program(think yoga) to help with these issue. Of course, seek the input of your doctor to make sure your healthy to do so. Good luck
